Firefighters battle two Southeast Portland fires, and one man in critical condition

Firefighters responded to two Portland fires Sunday night, once of which left a man in critical condition.

The first fire broke out about 8:15 p.m. in a mobile home in the 13000 block of Southeast Stark Street. Firefighters found the back side of the home was engulfed in flames.

No one was home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries reported.

There is no damage estimate, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

A second fire broke out at 9:05 p.m. in the 5000 block of Southeast 122nd Avenue. When firefighters arrived they found a man standing outside the home. He suffered severe burns and was taken to the Oregon Burn Center with what were described as life-threatening injuries.

While fighting the fire, an electrical line dropped near the home and crews from Portland General Electric had to shut power off to the home.
